Mr. Gloss and I are small-town Mainers (yes, that is what we call ourselves, except if you throw in the Maine accent it sounds like ‘main-ahs’) and are planning a ‘semi-destination’ wedding back home from our present location in Boston. We have been dating since I was a sophmore in high school, and will have been together almost a decade by the time we actually tie the knot!
For 6 of those years we were separated by different states, and for about 6 months, a different continent. We have been able to make our ‘long-distance’ relationship work because we knew, very early on, that we wanted to spend the rest of our lives together (although no one takes you seriously when are 15 and say that!) and that if this is what we wanted, we could make it work.
Being together for such a long time has given a very practical edge to our wedding planning. It is more important to us to have a down payment for a house, than one perfect day (although I want them both)!
